  Here’s hoping you dudes made it through Friday the 13th yesterday in relatively good health. If so, congratulations. If not, well, welcome to my world.

  It seems like there’s some puritanical karma enforcer who’s taken a very significant interest in my case. You see, I went out to Vegas for a few days of gambling, drinking (non-alcoholic), smoking (second-hand) and generally just having a good time doing a couple of bad things.

  Now, most hedonists would see this as the start of a good time. A puritan would be appalled by my flagrant disregard for the immutable moral standards which have served our civilization so well for so many years.

  Guess which one won the argument over who got to hang around with me on my return from Vegas. I’ll give you a hint. It wasn’t the hedonist. That could have been fun, lying around and generally relaxing until I started to feel better and got ready to return to daily life.

  No, I got the puritan, who thought I should understand suffering since I had done so much to acquaint myself with sin. Yeah, on the way back from Vegas I started getting a sore throat. By the time I made it all the way home, the sore throat had graduated to nuclear levels. Seriously, I was worried about my hair (such as is left) falling out from the radiation levels given off by my glowing-in-the-dark red throat.

  The bug immediately thereafter set up shop in my lungs and proceeded to send out invites for the party of the century to all its little buggy friends.

  So, coughing, stuffed-up nose, runny nose, mucus as an uninvited guest, all that fun stuff. Yeah, Friday the Thirteenth was nothing as compared to that one.

  • Spread the word, dude!
